Would you believe if I said
That all what you know is gone? Nightmare, which you never thought Could come out of your dream... It's done, I tell you Purposeless rage came down from the skies Counting the end of your world - open your eyes... Fire is eating your house, Erasing the word "tomorrow" Time's standing still And your mind is about to explode Of pain and sorrow Helpless and weak You look at the skies. Horror of capitol crime's in front of your eyes. Wishes and hopes in the mud, Under their boots, are fading away Leaving you out in the cold - Lost and alone, unwilling making nightmares and fears To something you feel - Like they're real Pieces of led for your for your life - It's part of the deal Out in the rain, here I am, Down on my knees for you, father Tell me just what have we done One to another Out in the rain, here I am, Praying and begging you, father Look what you're letting us do One to another God, how can you let me see... My eyes are tired of watching betrayal and lies Up there, beware - We build the cross You were once forced to bare. Quiet and cold you look from the skies... We are your tragic mistake - So open your eyes. 02. Lies Music & lyrics by André Andersen
Feels like I'm covered in lies
so turn off the light, I'm closing my eyes Flying back - ages ago Curtain is down and I'm ready to go back to the day when I looked into your eyes Straight to your heart - when I knew you've been telling me lies Even the day when we met I'll always recall with the deepest regret Tell me what keeps you awake: Talk of the angel or soul of the snake? How can you live in your shadow from within Hiding away from the light in the river of sin? Lies, neverending lies, I see it in your eyes Did you stop believing ? Lies always cold as ice, even heaven cries for you, but not forgiving Lies - the way to paradise you're gonna pay the price on the field of growing lies Neverending lies need a sacrifice - you're the one who's going down Dealing with you on my own Loosing my faith so I have to be strong crossing the sea of mistrust while looking for gold which you covered with dust 03. Flight Music & lyrics by André Andersen
Eye's of the night, keepin' me right
Engine's roaring like hell Wing on my side, shakes of the light Ready to go - I can tell You better sit upright or you'll fall down No one's gonna help you miles around There's no place for tears or fear of heights Nothing- just the thunder of flight Fly forever and try - Cross over the sky- Feelin' the wind blow. Cry for losers who died They're watching you fly- Over the rainbow Scary how fast you're down in the dust, Watching the sign in the sky Kill or get killed, glory and thrill Waitin' for one who'll survive I had a dream last night and I say you burn Right on the edge of the point of no return No more excuses and no more comin' back, Light of the sun - it's turnin' black 04. Message To God Music & lyrics by André Andersen
The one who's watching my shoulder - get a life
I see your arms are nailed to the cross but your eyes are so alive I never thought you're lying but now it's turned around So many hearts are dying - you've let them down Over and over again Can't reach you, can't meet you I gave you everything I've got You hear me, don't leave me It's my message to you, God Can't see you, can't feel you I've lost just everything I've got Forget me, you've left me It's my message to you, God We're busy burning witches the way we've learned from you We're good at killing creatures, so teach us something new, come on! One of your own creations is kind of hard to understand You, freak of nature - just tell me why did you create us man? Traces on the floor, I can't hear the door closing me Right inside my dream, it's a sign from him - let me be Sunrise through the dust - future in the past chasing me Shadows on the wall, voices down the halls calling me Over and over again 05. Epilogue Music & lyrics by André Andersen
Sailin' away - alone on the ship of time
Wandering 'bout the past - stayin' lost in line Never endin' story of both day and night Everything has been lost along the way Over the years all the friends I've had Rushed to settle down before they died In the darkest hour - scream into the night Everyone who's never seen the light Someone's lost and someone's found Someone's movin' 'round and 'round Someone's pushin' all the way and hits the ground Someone came and someone's gone Someone made it, someone not To see the dawn Minute by minute, hour by hour's gone Left me alone, kept me twistin' me 'round and 'round Every single piece of me will cry for help Do I have to take that final step? Someone's lost and someone's found Someone's movin' 'round and 'round Someone's pushin' all the way and hits the ground Someone came and someone's gone Someone made it, someone not To see the dawn 06. One by One (new recording) Music & lyrics by André Andersen
I've always been the perfect man for fightin'
I've always been the one who'd never lose Get up'n'play - It used to be exciting A chance to win - but there is no excuse But now I feel I've spent my life for nothing no chances left - confusions like a rain One step ahead won't help - I'm losin' something Another victory will bring another pain And I feel like a stranger - lost and found In the heat of the danger - another time around One by one - we're fallin' on the burnin' ground One by one - keep movin' round 'n' round One by one - just fallin' like shootin' stars One by one - we'll just rust behind bars I'm on track - no matter how I'm movin' From light to light - another dusty place No one around - aware of you're doin' Forgotten hero - an unknown face Straight through the heart - no pain 'cos there's nothin' back to the past - just injuries insight No way to stop - watch out, 'cos evil's laughin' No use screamin' - it's sinkin' in the night Take a look in the mirror - see if you're blind Keep chasin' the hero - in another time. 07. Clown In The Mirror (new recording) Music & lyrics by André Andersen
Our circus's closed and midnight ghost
Comin' out as lights go down Old and tired clown, no one is around Staring at the mirror - now listen Oh, the show must go on Lived in the crowd, but dyin' all alone Clown in the mirror - glitter and scars Here pleasure and pain look as one Clown in the mirror toucin' the stars Flyin' his dream to the sun What a mask can say? Cry the night away! Askin' mirror: "Tell me how long?" Wrigglin' all those years, thorugh the laughter 'n' tears Don't believe in hearts of stone Oh, the show must go on Lived in the crowd, but dyin' all alone Clown in the mirror - glitter and scars Here pleasure and pain look as one Clown in the mirror touchin' the stars Flyin' his dream to the sun But the sun will rise, evil took the prize Something will remind you Sign of disgrace - this paint in your face. 08. Day In Day Out (new recording) Music & lyrics by André Andersen
Another fight - another story,
I can not choose, I'm always payin' too much Days runs to nights, turns off to glory. Somebody looses, somebody looks out of touch The colours are dark, But I hope I got luck on my side. My spirit's lost - I cry my heart out, 10000 years have past - And what have we learned? We're doing worse - Illusions all'round. My life's the same As many lifetimes ago. Day in, Day out - I'll be alright. Day in, Day out - I feel like shouting it out. 09. Legion Of The Damned (new recording) Music & lyrics by André Andersen
I'm back in town where I was born
Where street's are so cold and heart's of stone They told me, kid, you'll see the sun I did! - through the barrel of the gun Day one, I understood the game So much to loose - so much to gain I'm the one who's left behind I know I'll make it - through the night Somebody's gonna die in a desperate fight No use to hide away the light Get paid to go so far - no matter who you are Nobody's gonna run and there's no one to blame We're under the gun and feel no shame It's never gonna end - the legion of damned I've listened to preachers, I've listened to fools' So many saints, so many rules It's gonna be - cold day in hell If ever reason'll break the spell Somebody's gonna die in a desperate fight No use to hide away the light Get paid to go so far - no matter who you are Nobody's gonna run and there's no one to blame We're under the gun and feel no shame It's never gonna end - the legion of damned They don't understand I know who I am 10. Intervention (radio edit) Music & lyrics by André Andersen
Fire is eating your house, erasing the word "tomorrow"
Time's standing still and your mind is about to explode of pain and sorrow Helpless and weak you look at the skies. Horror of capitol crime's in front of your eyes. Wishes and hopes in the mud, under thier boots, are fading away Leaving you out in the cold - lost and alone, Unwilling making nightmares and fears to something you feel - like they're real Pieces of led for your for your life - it's part of the deal Out in the rain, here I am, Down on my knees for you, father Tell me just what have we done one to another Out in the rain, here I am, Praying and begging you, father Look what you're letting us do one to another God, how can you let me see... My eyes are tired of watching betrayal and lies Up there, beware - we build the cross You were once forced to bare. Quiet and cold you look from the skies... We are your tragic mistake - Oo open your eyes. |
